THERMORA — PRODUCT SELECTION BRIEF
Elastomeric insulation
Black elastomeric foam tubes, sheets and formed details for mechanical services.

Editorial selection guidance; dimensions in examples are enquiry examples, not confirmed supply specifications. Tested properties require grade-specific company documentation.

OVERVIEW
Flexible elastomeric insulation is considered for pipework, fittings and equipment in HVAC and mechanical-service projects. The specification starts with pipe outside diameter, service temperature, ambient conditions and the condensation-control objective. Treat joints, supports, valves and protective finishes as part of the insulation package.

SELECTION PARAMETERS
Product family: Flexible elastomeric foam insulation; tubes and sheet concepts shown
Appearance: Black closed-cell foam surface, as illustrated
Tube sizing: Match insulation bore to the actual pipe outside diameter in mm
Insulation thickness: Determine from thermal duty, ambient conditions and condensation risk
Sheet format: State width, length, thickness and whether sheets or rolls are needed
Fittings: Include elbows, tees, reducers, valves and support details
Joint method: Coordinate compatible adhesive, seams and end joints
Facing / protection: Identify any outdoor, UV, mechanical or wash-down exposure
Calculation inputs: Service temperature, ambient temperature, relative humidity and duty
Quantity basis: Linear metres by pipe size; m² for sheet insulation

REFERENCE ENQUIRY — NOT A SUPPLY SPECIFICATION
Example enquiry only: 28 mm pipe OD, 19 mm insulation wall, 1,000 linear metres, plus fitting schedule. This is a dimensional example, not a thickness recommendation or confirmed stocked size.

GRADE-SPECIFIC EVIDENCE TO REQUEST
• Thermal conductivity at declared mean temperatures
• Water-vapour resistance and water absorption
• Service-temperature limits and fire / smoke classification

Measure the pipe, not its trade name
List actual outside diameters and required lengths. Keep each pipe size and insulation thickness on a separate line.

Design around the service
Include operating and ambient conditions so the project team can assess heat flow and condensation. Thickness selection also depends on the exact grade’s properties.

Close the system
Plan seams, terminations, supports and access around valves. Adhesive compatibility and any exterior protective finish must follow the selected product documentation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which thickness should I choose?
A suitable thickness depends on the service, temperature, humidity, geometry and the exact insulation grade. Send these inputs for a project-based selection discussion.

Are tubes and sheets specified the same way?
Tubes require bore, wall thickness and total length. Sheets require thickness, area and dimensions, with a separate allowance for equipment and fittings.

Is outdoor protection needed?
Identify sunlight, weather and mechanical exposure. Confirm any required facing or protective coating for the selected grade and application.
